Boasting the extraordinary talents of one of the theatre's Jekyll & Hyde stars along with other recent alumni, Mt. Carroll's Timber Lake Playhouse will present two performances of Home for the Holidays with Kristin Wetherington on December 13 and 14, treating audiences to traditional classics and upbeat modern hits that are sure to remind you of the joys of the Christmas season ... and why there’s no place like home for the holidays.
Wetherington is a New York City-based performer originally from Greenville, North Carolina. Her voice has been heard all over the world in some of the largest theaters and arenas. As a vocalist, Wetherington has shared the stage with stars including pop sensation Tori Kelly and country music star Phil Vassar. She has appeared with some of the country’s top symphonies, including the Philadelphia Pops, on national television on Fox & Friends, and has sang the national anthem for professional sporting events such as Major League baseball and the National Hockey League.
With a professional career spanning more than 15 years, Wetherington is a three time Broadway World Award and SALT Award winner for her performance as Lucille in Parade with critically acclaimed regional theatre, The Rev. Some of her favorite theatrical credits include the Broadway tour of Aida, off-Broadway’s Calamity Jane (Calamity), and Louisiana Purchase (Beatrice). Broadway World raved that “her well-trained voice shines” and that she “alone is worth the price of admission,” while the New York Times and Theatre Mania says she “delivers” and “unleashes a powerful soprano.” Wetherington holds a Master’s of Fine Arts Degree from Harvard University, and when she is not performing, she runs her own coaching and production company.
